I also put up a guide, and recently moved a few installations when changing webhost. Perhaps your guide is a little easier to read ;) I especially like the PhpMySql screenshots.. Great guide.

When I do move from localhost or wherever, to a new host, I just open the sql in my textmate, do a find and replace the path that need changing and then save and import that new file. It's easy peasy, but moving a db always gives me the sweats. ;) When I work on the production server, I usually work on a wp folder and then just use WordPress’s handy redirect, that way I don’t have to move anything…

I forgot about links and images in the wysiwyg. I’ll post a followup on that. Why would you have other relative paths not to the root or template directory though? Between bloginfo('url') and bloginfo('template_directory') you're always covered. Oh right! I forgot about links and images in the wysiwyg. I’ll post a followup on that.

I've always found that during development (and particularly when images are added to a page) that many other absolute URL's can appear in the DB that need to be rewritten. Also any relative URL's that aren't to the web root can cause problems (/dev/wp-content/... -> /wp-content/...) Nice post!
